Our team is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded one of the Top 50 Companies to Watch Award in Michigan!

The award is given to privately held second stage companies headquartered in Michigan, that are growing and making an impact in Michigan. In order to receive the award, a company must be nominated and supply information about the business, corporate culture, and plans for growth. That information is evaluated and the winners are selected and recognized in a gala celebration.

The award is given by Michigan Celebrates, a collaboration of trusted statewide founding organizations that offer
resources for small businesses. Since 2005, their awards gala has celebrated how small businesses positively
impact our communities and state. MCSB is focused on supporting, connecting and celebrating small businesses
in Michigan.

“Michigan Celebrates received 575 nominations for the Michigan 50 Companies to Watch award in 2020, which surpassed the 2019 record of 425 nominations,” stated Jennifer Deamud, MCSB Board Chair and Executive Director of Michigan Manufacturing Growth Alliance. “In addition to a competitive landscape for this award, the businesses who are selected by the judges go through a rigorous due diligence process prior to the final decision.”

“We are gratified to be among the 50 companies selected to be recognized in 2021,” says Phil Schaafsma, DLN President, “and proud to be growing in the state of Michigan, thanks to our committed employees and fantastic business partners.”

We’ll share more details as they are released about the plans for the gala celebration.
